Summary
Late spring, the year of our Lord 1370. Owen Archer, ex-soldier and spy, is preparing to depart Wales, his work for John of Gaunt completed. But his attempts to arrange safe passage home to York are thwarted by a mysterious suicide. In York Lucie Wilton is disheartened by her husband’s long absence and concerned by allegations against her apothecary. Then Brother Michaelo brings upsetting news, forcing her to journey to her father’s manor outside the city. Increasingly desperate, she accepts the company of a stranger, who proves invaluable when they face danger.
Angered by Owen’s prolonged absence, aware of malicious rumours, John Thoresby, Archbishop of York, orders his return. But Owen’s stay in the land of his birth has created divided loyalties in him. And those who serve the Welsh rebel leader would have Owen sign up to fight and never go home…

A page turner
I have listened to several of these Owen Archer books, this is one of my favourites. Lots of good descriptions of the times and places, I especially like the details of all the herbs and potions used. This story moved on at a much better pace than the last one. The drama and suspense throughout the book kept my interest.

A Spy for the Redeemer
I do enjoy Candace Robb's Owen Archer books. With each book, the characters build and I like that. Another good story.

For Me, Not as Good as Others
I did not enjoy this as much as the York based books. There was v v little diect interplay between Owen and Lucy, and this is one of the strengths of other stories. 99.9% of the book they were apart, and I felt it lacked the cohesiveness found elsewhere in the series.

Gave up half way through.
The narrator is fantastic but I found the story extremely boring. I enjoy historical fiction and tried this author (new to me) on the basis that Stephen Thorne is a good narrator but I gave up half way through because I realised I didn't really much care about what happened to the (too numerous) characters and also felt the.author kept changing her mind about where the plot was headed.
